ABOUT
STOP: Gun and Knife Crime
Alexander Rose London
'I was boiling inside and looked up to the sky and thought a life had gone for no reason... I just had to do something'
My campaign
Friends and family members have died because of gun and knife crime. I want young people to STOP carrying weapons and think about what else is out there, apart from joining a gang. I’m using what I know best – design - to fight the negative gangster image and I want to inspire others to do something positive too. Everyone can use what they have to do something.
Campaign Highlights
- Getting the support of Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the Tutu Foundation
- Winning an award from the Body Shop
- Speaking at schools and youth clubs across London
- Watching knives smelted down by the police to make my pendants
- Putting on my event at the Ministry of Sound to promote “Education is the Key”
How you can help
- Buy and wear my STOP T-shirts
- Look out for my “Education is the Key” pendants
- Spread the STOP message

Hi Alex, i just wanted to say that i think about the campaign and what a special thing it is that you’re doing every time i drive past 'the scene', it’s so sad knowing how close to home it was! Anyway, I’m in my final year of doing a criminology degree and im currently doing my dissertation, it’s based on how your campaign is creating awareness among the young people in Lambeth and encouraging them to divert their talent into something positive rather than turning to the streets where gun and knife crime escalates. So i was going through your videos and reading up on what you have done so far and i must say that I’m impressed! The way you have stayed dedicated to the campaign years on, i feel inspired and want to be a part of the campaign. I was also hoping if you could maybe give me some more info regarding the campaign and hopefully answer a few of my questions; it would be much appreciated if you could get back to me! Thanks…Keep doing what you’re doing and take care!

Dear Alex, I saw your cause this morning, i would be interested in purchasing some t shirts or education key pendants. Please can you advise me were i can obtain the above from. Just to say i was inspired and moved by your immense determination in fighting what can seem to be an endless battle. Kind regards V. Patel

hi, I am a Year 10 student in Mulberry School for Girls in Tower Hamlets. For my Citizenship GCSE coursework, I have chosen to focus on the issue of Gangs and Crime. I am writing to you to ask for your opinion I have prepared some questions that I was hoping you could answer: 1. What is your opinion about gang and crime? 2. Why do people feel intimidated by gangs? 3. What can be done to reduce crime? 4. Why do you think people form gangs? If there are any other views you have on gangs and crime, we would be thrilled to hear them and share them with other students in our school. please email back with your opinion

Hey Alex great work on the blog and good to see that theirs someone out there dedicated as you with the issues of gun and knife crime. I'm in my final year of my graphic design degree and doing a project on knife and gun crime and was wondering if you would consider meeting up and giving your thoughts and ideas across to help me with my project and potentially promote your campaign.

Well done with this project i know your not doing it for the lime light but doing it for the right intentions, Me personally i have not experienced anyone close to me die of ,gun or knife crime, but it kills me to see those young Faces On the news ,it really does i mean first of all i thought they were just a bunch of idiot ,but someone got shot near my endz which was an eye opener and made me wanna look into it much more and what makes them wanna do it the main one that i have found is someone going to another area i.e postcode and drugdealing which is alarming they just young anywayz all i can say big thanks! get the message out global and hopfully you will get there, i hope !
